Her Diamonds- Rob Thomas

______________________________________________________________________________

By the light of the moon, she rubs her eyes. Says it's funny how the night can make you blind. I can just imagine. And I don't know what I'm supposed to do, but if she feels bad then I

do too. So I let her be. And she says ooh, I can't take no more, her tears like

diamonds on the floor, and her diamonds bring me down, 'cause I can't

help her now. She's down in it. She tried her best but now she

can't win. It's hard to see them on the ground.

Her diamonds falling down.

EPOV

It's been a tough couple of months after the whole ordeal. School and work was hard to handle at the same time, but somehow Bella and I could do it.

After winter break was over we went back into our familar schedules. New Year's passed and we hoped for a better year then we had. We haven't heard a word from our families and Mom's calls became less frequent. I wondered if she was slowly taking Carlisle's side.

Bella and I hadn't told her about the engagement for two reasons. One: We didn't want her to tell me dad, and two: Bella and I wanted to keep it to ourselfs for awhile. Only just yesterday Bella told the group, Alice went balistic.

We had both agreed to a small wedding with just us. Alice and Rose had been complaining about it, saying that they really wanted to come. Bella and I were still one hundred percent set on it just being us. It was nothing personal and they knew that. We decided to have our wedding June twenty fifth and it is currently May second.

Today we were supposed to go pick out wedding bands at the tiffany's downtown. It was a Friday and we both asked to take off work. Bella got off and I asked the other girl to take my hours.

I walked into the apartment after walking up four flights of stairs (our apartment complex had no elevator and there are seven floors). There was a small noise from the couch and I set my books down on the kitchen counter and walked over to the couch.

Bella was laying there, in tears with her phone in her hand.

" Baby, what happened?" I asked.

She handed me her cell phone and covered her face with her hands. It seemed to be a voicemail. I put it on playback and hesitantly put the phone to my ear.

"Isabella Swan, I had no idea who in the hell you think you are not contacting me to tell me that you are getting married. I had to hear from Lauren Mallory's mother at the grocery store! You think that you can erase me out of your life and start a new one with some worthless idiot? I am starting to think that your the worthless idiot in that thing you call a relationship. Go ahead, get married and I bet it will fail the second you say I do."

I was stunned silent. What kind of person would talk to their daughter like that. Who would talk about her and I like that. I picked up a sobbing Bella and held her tightly in my arms. Her tears made me sad because she didn't deserve to be unhappy.

" Love?" I said.

She said nothing.

" Bella, love, she is so wrong. Look how far we've come together and how much we love eachother. You are not worthless and your definately not an idiot. Your beautiful and smart." I told her, her sobs didn't cease " And your going to make the most perfect wife and perfect mother."

She wrapped her arms around my waist.

" I will love you forever and I asked you to marry me because I want to spend the rest of my life loving you. I don't care if our parents aren't apart of that because they are only going to be missing out on the years of happiness that we will have together."

" How do you always know the right thing to say?" she asked quietly.

" I am only telling you the truth. I dont want you upset either."

She looked up at me and I was streams of black running down her face.

" I probably look like a mess." she stated

I gave her a reassuring smile " You always look beautiful"

A bright red blush spred across her pale skin and I ran my hand over her cheek. I moved around a moment, situation her in my lap so I could lift her up bridal style. I planted my feet on the ground and stood up.

I walked her to the bathroom and put her on the counter. I wet a washcloth with warm water and wiped off her face. When I finished she wrapped her arms around my neck and I put my hands under her ass to lift her up. She laughed against my neck as I plopped us on the couch.

" Well, we have an appointment to get to, so get your stuff together." I said.

She stood up and I smacked her ass as she pranced away. She screeched and looked back at me, pointing a long pale finger in my direction.

" You're going to be taught a lesson later, mister."

I smiled and stood up. I went into the kitchen and moved my books to the small desk next to my piano. I sat down on the leather and placed my hands on the ivory keys. A tune flowed out, but it wasn't just any regular one that I had played. It was something that had been running through my head for awhile. I started writing it down on a music sheet.

" What are you writing so furiously?" I heard Bella's sweet voice ring out beside me.

" Just some notes." I answered, still scribbling down the notes.

When I finished, I stood and reached for Bella's hand. Instead she wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head.

" What's this for?" I asked quietly.

" For loving me." she answered simply.

----

We took my Volvo to the Tiffany's downtown. It was maybe a half hour or so away from our apartment. The shop was sorounded by many others, it was like a cluster. I parked on the curb infront of the shop and stepped out. I walked to the other side of the car and opened the door for Bella.

She thanked me and took my hand in hers. I opened the glass door and we stepped through. The whole shop dressed in the familar white and blue colors.

Aubrey was standing behind the counter. She was a short girl with curly blonde hair and brown eyes.

" Edward! It's nice to see you again and your fiancee?" Aubrey said

I smiled and stood behind Bella, my hands on her shoulders.

" Yes, this is my fiancee, Bella. Bella, this is Aubrey, she helped me pick out your engagement ring."

Aubrey gave Bella a smile and we walked towards the counter.

" So, for your wedding bands... For the band would you like gold, while gold, silver, platinum?"

" I think we would like to stick with platinum. Does that sound alright, love?"

She smiled at me " Of course."

BPOV

Edward and I looked at many platinum rings, trying to find the ones that were our style. Aubrey helped us out but also let us look around quietly. After fifteen minutes she called out name from the counter and we walked over there.

She held out two matching wedding bands and we stood, looking at them intently.

" Okay, this one is for the wife. It evokes the glamour of the Edwardian period. Band ring with a full circle of bead-set diamonds and sapphires in platinum, with a milgrain edge." she told me.

The ring was absolutely gorgeous. The sapphire diamonds mixed with the regular diamonds was absolutely gorgeous.

" Okay, for the husband. This one also evokes the glamour of the Edwardian period. It is a wedding band in platinum with an intricate design incrested in the band."

Edward held the ring carefully in his hands and looked at me.

" What do you think?" I asked.

" I think that both of the rings are gorgeous. What are your thoughts?"

" I really love them...They are beautiful rings." I answered truthfully.

He leaned down " Do you want these to be our rings?" he whispered in my ear.

" Only if you do."

Edward smiled and looked at Aubrey. " What are the prices of the rings as a total, including tax?"

She took out a calculator and started doing the math. Edward and I examined the rings, looking at every detail.

" Okay, the total would be 3,345 dollars including tax."

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Edward slid out his debit card.

" Alright, for Bella she would need a size six and for me a seven and a half."

" Edward... We can't-"

He looked at me " I've got it taken care of, baby, don't worry."

Aubrey was looking at her computer for a few moments.

" The beginning of June, the ninth is when it can be delivered."

" Perfect."

Edward used his debit to pay for it in full and signed a few things before we left. When we stepped out of the doors he picked me up in his arms and twirled me around. I laughed outloud and smiled at him. He pressed his lips to mine and kissed me softly.

" Let's go out to dinner."

" I think enough money was spent today."

He laughed and set me down. " Fine, it's on you."

" Baby, I have to pay the water bill. Maybe if you would stop spending a half hour using the warm water then it would be cheaper." I retorted.

" Smart ass." he sneered.

" Only the smartest."

He rolled his eyes and I walked over to him, grabbing the keys to his precious Volvo. Since he didn't expect me to take it, his grip wasn't tight. I grabbed the keys and skipped to the drivers side.

" Oh, what do you think your doing, little miss?"

I got into the car and turned the engine on. I buckled up and ran my hands over the stering wheel. Edward opened the passenger door and sat down, not shutting it.

" Bella, no girl, not even my mom, can drive the Volvo. Past girlfriends NEVER drove the Volvo. It is off limits." he stated seriously.

" Well, darling. Since I am going to be your wife and you expect me to push out your children, I get to drive the Volvo. So stop acting like a girl and calm down that little panic attack."

He growled low in his throat and shut the door. I gave him a bright smile and peeled out of the parking spot. I decided to drive to a small little resturaunt that had good, but not expensive, food. It was similar to the Forks Coffee place but with warmer, darker colors.

" BELLA! This road is merging, get into the left side!" Edward barked at me.

This wasn't the first time. Right after we pulled out of Tiffany's he was on edge.

" I suggest you shut that annoying trap of yours before I shut it for you, got it!"

He glared at me and I went into the lane that it was merged into. When I got to the little resturaunt I stepped out as did Edward. I threw him the keys, clearly annoyed at his attitude. We walked in silently and I asked for a booth for two, the lady nodded and let us to a table.

When we were seated I picked up the menu and looked at it.

" Someone is a little pissy."

" Edward, you were acting like an immature child. Sorry if I wanted to drive you precious car. Maybe if you are so worried about me crashing into something with it and you love it so much, then you should ask it to marry you." I spat.

He stayed quiet after that. I ordered the Mushroom Ravioli and the waitress took my menu after handing me my iced tea. Edward told the lady he wanted the same and we sat, staring at the candle.

---

We ate quickly and quietly. I paid for the meal and Edward drove home. I was still a little angry at him as I walked into the apartment. After handing up my little jacket I headed towards the bedroom.

" Rule number one." Edward said.

I stopped. Ugh, stupid rules...

When we first moved in we made a few rules. The first one was not to go to bed mad at one another. It seemed like a good rule at the time. The second was to keep the bedroom clean, no clothes on the floor. The third was to not leave hair, toothpaste or anything in the bathroom, ( that included Edward's piss on the toliet seat). There were a few more but I didn't care about the rules.

" Whatever, Edward. I am breaking the rule." I told him.

I opened the door and felt his hand on my wrist.

" Bella, I'm sorry."

I scoffed " Sorry doesn't cut it. Am I just one of your girlfriends. Is the engagement a joke or something. Tell me."

He looked genuinely surprised " Bella, are you serious. I love you, baby. You can drive the Volvo, hell it's yours if you want it to be. And the engagement is most definately not a joke and you know that."

Edward was right, I did know that.

" I am sorry for overreacting. I will admit, my car means alot to me but it pales in comparison to you. I love you, baby, and I am sorry for acting like such an asshole."

I sighed and kissed his cheek.

" Love you, too." I said quietly before slipping through the door and into the closet.

I changed into a little blue satin nightie and crawled into bed. Edward took a shower, it lasting a half hour before he came out in a pair of boxers. He laid in bed, wrapping his body around mine. When he felt the satin, his hand ran over my stomach and I hooked my leg around his hip.

His lips pressed against mine in a passion filled haze. I kissed him back hungrily and pressed my body into his. After a few minutes of a heated make-out session Edward pulled away from me, gasping and panting. My lips trailed down his neck and to his belly button. I kissed it quickly and moved back up to his face.

" Need sleep." he mumbled.

I showered kisses all over his face and on the slight stubble on his chin and jaw. I wrapped my legs around his waist and gave him a wicked smile.

" Beeellaa," he whined loudly.

I rolled my eyes and unlocked my legs from around his waist. I laid on the opposite side of the bed and wrapped the black silky comforter around my body.

" Are you PMS-ing because today your a little cranky." Edward commented,

" It's you! I want to drive the Volvo you get pissed. I am... in the mood, and you want to sleep."

His arms wrapped around my waist " I'm sorry. I am just tired. With class, ring shopping, fighting and dinner. I just need some sleep and you can do with me what you wish... And plus, your always in that mood. Don't you ever want to cuddle like we always used to do?"

I let out a defeated sigh " Sorry, I don't want to sound desperate and needy... I just love you and yes, cuddling is just fine."

Edward flipped on Friends and we cuddled, just as he wished. His arms were around my waist and my head was leaning against his neck. Every few minutes he would look at me and I would gaze back at him.

As the episode was over and the credits rolled on the screen we looked at eachother, our faces coming closer and closer. He knew very well that cuddling wouldn't last that long and he didn't just want to cuddle.

" Tell me I am right." I whispered, our lips an inch apart

" Why?" he breathed

" You don't like to cuddle all the time. Almost all the time you want more." I told him.

He groaned " Fine, your right."

Edward slowly closed the distance between us and pressed his lips to mine. My lips moved sensually against his and I bent my head back further. Our kiss was what I would call ' spiderman style' since my head was on his neck and it was bent back his top lip was pressed against my bottom and my bottom lip was pressed his top. His hands were massaging my stomach through my small, satin gown. I reached my hands above my head and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling myself up just the slightest.

" Are you going to lay like that or turn around?" he asked against my lips.

Without detatching my lips from his I turned around. He wrapped his arms around my waist tightly and parted his lips, I parted mine and deepened our kiss. Edward moved me up so I was straddling his waist and his hands were on my hips.

Just as things were heating up Edward's cell phone started blaring Metallica from the end table.

He pulled away and I pouted. He kissed my pout and reached over for the phone.

" What?" he growled angrily into the phone.

" Oh, sorry mom...No, I'm not busy."

I shot him a look and got off from my spot his waist. His hand reached up to stop me from moving but it froze once his mother started talking.

"Yeah I'm not so sure about that mom...You know why...Well I don't think that Bella and I are comfortable with that...Well you haven't called in like two months...No, nothing is that new...Nothing...Fine... No, I wont agree unless I talk to Bella about it...Because she is my fi- girlfriend... I'll call you tomorrow... Bye." he hung up the phone and set it on the end table.

I wrapped the blankets around me.

" She wants us to meet for dinner when school is over."

" School is over in two weeks." I stated

He sighed and rubbed my arm gently.

My face buried in the pillow. I really didn't want to have to endure dinner with the guy that tried to kill my boyfriend and punched me. I had a scar on my face from the gash. A scar that would remind me of what he did for the rest of my life. Mederma cream can't take away every scar.

" He tried to kill you, Edward."

" I know, baby."

I rolled around and looked at him " How do I know that he won't try and hurt us again." I demanded.

" You can't know unless you try."

" I. Have."

His arms wrapped around me and I was tense. He unwrapped his arms and started to massage my shoulders.

" Stop tensing up, babe."

" I can't help it. He puts me on edge with just the thought of him."

He kissed the back of my neck and I was putty in his hands. Edward picked me up and set me in his lap, cradling me. My head rested on his shoulder and my ass was in his lap. He pet my hair lovingly and I felt myself drifting.

EPOV

After Bella fell asleep I watched her for a moment before falling asleep myself.

I awoke only few hours later to feel Bella thrashing around in my arms, screaming bloody murder.

" LET HIM GO!" She screamed, tossing over to the opposite side of the bed.

She fisted the sheets in her hand and let out a strangled scream into the pillow. The sight completely broke my heart.

I moved over to the other side of the bed and grabbed her in my arms, I brushed her damp, matted hair back and tried to wake her.

" Bella, wake up." I whispered in her ear.

After a few moments she awoke and was gasping and crying. Her arms wrapped around me waist in a death grip that almost made it hard to breath.

" D-D-Don't leave me. Please don't leave me." she begged.

I kissed the top of her head and wrapped my arms around her " The thought wouldn't even cross my mind."

Her tears leaked onto my bare chest, I didn't bother to wipe them off. I pulled her up closer and looked into her tear filled eyes.

" I love you. Your always going to be mine and I will never leave you, darlin'."

She nodded and closed her eyes. I wrapped my arm around her loosely and rested my cheek against the top of her head.

I could only hope that she would stop being plagued by these horrid nightmares.
